  • Seismic resistance of masonry buildings in historic urban and rural nuclei : lessons learned in Slovenia
    Tomaževič, Miha
    In the past three decades, significant research has been conducted on seismic behavior of masonry buildings in historic urban and rural nuclei. On the basisof the earthquake damage observations and ... subsequent experimental simulations of the observed mechanisms, technical measures for the improvementof the seismic resistance have been proposed and methods for seismic resistance verification developed. By in situ and laboratory testing, the basic mechanical properties of the existing and strengthened masonry have been determined. The research results have been used to analyze the requirements of Eurocode regarding the design methods and parameters for structural assessment and retrofitting of buildings. Modifications have been proposed that would lead to more realistic assessment of seismic resistance inthe case of historic masonry buildings. For this purpose, the seismic behavior of buildings, subjected to design-level earthquakes for the second time in just a few decades, has been analyzed and correlated with the actuallyobserved earthquake damage.
